The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3484: Ecstatic! (Second Update)

With a hint of cunning in his eyes, the brocade-robed man remarked, "Even relying on the Zhan family's ties, I still can't uncover it? This Ye Chen must be either an apprentice under some hidden ancient powerhouse lurking in remote mountains or the heir from a prominent clan. However..."

He took a slow sip from the Spiritual Tea he held, appearing unconcerned, "Since he's only shown up in the Star Swirl Domain, the backing he has is nothing special. It pales utterly against my Zhan family from the Outer Realm."

The stunning lady agreed, "Young Master speaks wisely."

Clearly, this brocade-robed fellow had come for the marriage contest. Remarkably, he was already within Refining God Peak before the event even started!

To guarantee fairness, Refining God Peak had sealed its Mountain Gate completely during this time. Not even prodigies from mighty powers in the Star Swirl Domain could climb up. The big influences across the Star Swirl Domain had mostly agreed to this setup. That's precisely why Zhou Zixun ended up in Yunxuan City.

Yet here was this youth, boldly present inside Refining God Peak!

It showed his background was strong enough to ignore every rule in the area!

The youth in the brocade robe went by the name Zhan You, second son of the Zhan family.

And the Zhan family hailed from the Moon Soul Domain!

The Outer Realm's core split into four vast areas! Known as Star Swirl Domain, Moon Soul Domain, Yangzhen Domain, and Heavenly Human Domain!

As you progress toward the end, the cultivators' might grows ever more fearsome, along with the scale of their organizations!

Heavenly Human Domain stands as a forbidden zone even in the Outer Realm!

Not even Emperor Abyss Palace or the Upper Realm Empress can meddle there!

Forces originating from the Moon Soul Domain, once in the Star Swirl Domain, rival top-tier powers!

Just uttering the Zhan family's name sends shivers through the whole Star Swirl Domain!

In truth, for Zhan You to claim Jin Shuhui, all it would take is a single command. The marriage contest was organized mainly so Zhan You could gauge the prowess of these famed Star Swirl Domain prodigies.

It felt just like a fierce tiger wandering amidst helpless sheep.

As Zhan You drank his tea, a chill gleamed in his eyes, resembling a predator sizing up its quarry.

...

Under a bright sky with soft breezes, countless Dragon Chariots, Phoenix Carriages, and brilliant streaks of light touched down on the majestic Giant Peak. This marked the occasion when Refining God Peak hosted the marriage contest for the enigmatic beauty Jin Shuhui!

Ye Chen, together with Gu Han and Zhang Chi, reached Refining God Peak. After presenting their invitations, attendants from Refining God Peak led them to a lavish hall at the peak's top.

Right now, the hall brimmed with festive vibes, draped in lofty red silks that radiated a sense of jubilant festivity.

Abundant tables overflowed with exotic spiritual fruits, fine spirit wine, delicate pastries, and gourmet fare. Groups of exceptional young elites mingled, chatting lively while indulging in the spreads.

In a quiet spot at the hall's edge, Ye Chen and his companions lingered. His eyes grew a bit frosty as he surveyed the scene. Refining God Peak had spared no expense for this marriage contest.

At that instant, a pale-faced youth with shaky gait, clad in opulent attire, showed up at the hall's doorway. The once-buzzing space hushed somewhat, and the arrogant young geniuses all flashed welcoming grins, calling out, "Mr. An, you've made it."

"Haha, if I'd known Brother An had his eye on Refining God Peak's Mysterious Lady, I wouldn't have bothered showing up."

"Now that Mr. An is here, looks like the rest of us are out of luck."

Mr. An chuckled loudly, basking in the barrage of compliments without denial.

Standing next to Ye Chen, Zhang Chi whispered, "Brother Ye, that's An Zaiyi. His power isn't top-notch, but don't overlook him. The An family ranks lowest among the big players here, yet they remain a respected house.

Above all, the An family dominates a prime Xuanyuan Stone mine! When it comes to riches, they top the charts in the Star Swirl Domain!"

Zhang Chi gestured toward a lone figure in the shadows, his face twisted with malice like a lurking viper, "Over there is Zhao Bin, seventh-level Holy Ancestor Realm. But whispers say his might outstrips peers at that stage!

His skills with poison are deviously ruthless, striking terror in hearts. On the surface, Zhao Bin's a lone wanderer without sect or kin, but those in the know realize he's the secret pupil of a concealed ancient expert. That master is one even elite forces steer clear of!

Furthermore, Zhao Bin's poison path has likely damaged his core, leaving him desperate for Heavenly Spirit Spiritual Power."

Ye Chen gave a small nod while Zhang Chi pointed out the key figures in the hall worth watching.

All of a sudden, a new arrival at the entrance drew every gaze. Initial shock gave way to smirks of amusement across the room.

It turned out to be Zhou Zixun.

Sensing the stares, Zhou Zixun huffed disdainfully and claimed a seat nearby.

The tale of Zhou Zixun getting humiliated by a Heavenly God Realm figure in Yunxuan City had circulated widely, tanking his standing among peers. Still, thanks to his power and rank, nobody risked mocking him outright.

As the marriage contest neared its start, most expected guests had filed in. But then, a brocade-robed man with a lovely woman at his side strolled casually into the hall.

Green bamboo patterns adorned the brocade robe—it was Zhan You!

The hall's occupants creased their brows upon spotting the brocade-robed newcomer.

What an ostentatious arrival!

Hadn't he seen that all these celebrated Star Swirl Domain youths arrived ahead of time, while he dawdled until last?

And carrying himself with such casual arrogance?

Was he forcing everyone to await his grand entrance?

However, in that instant, none of these haughty prodigies confronted Zhan You—not out of generosity, but because his cultivation eluded their senses!

Just then, Zhou Zixun caught sight of Zhan You, first in disbelief, then bursting with delight as he hurried over and bowed deeply, exclaiming: "Young Master You, what brings you here!"

The onlookers reeled in surprise; the typically overbearing Zhou Zixun was actually approaching someone first, and with such humble deference?

Zhan You offered a subtle smile and brushed him off.

Zhou Zixun didn't merit his regard.

He only recognized Zhou Zixun because he'd once granted a fleeting favor to the man's sister years back.

Though he hadn't even offered her concubine status, it thrilled the Zhou family to no end!

After all, they'd forged a link to a Moon Soul Domain clan!

From then on, Zhou Zixun's arrogance had only swelled.

Zhan You cast a brief look at Zhou Zixun and commented, "I heard someone put you in your place?"

Zhou Zixun's expression shifted, yet he affirmed with a nod.

Zhan You teased lightly, "Who was it? Is that guy here for the marriage contest?"

At these words, Zhou Zixun's heart leaped with excitement; was Young Master You targeting that brat?

His eyes scanned the hall in a flash, locking onto Ye Chen in the corner. Venomous hatred blazed in Zhou Zixun's stare as he jabbed a finger toward Ye Chen, declaring, "That's the one, Young Master You!"

Zhou Zixun fixed his gaze on Ye Chen, curling his lips into a icy grin.

Ha ha, punk, think you're so tough? With Young Master You noticing you, your fancy origins won't save you!

Zhan You shot Ye Chen a quick look, a faint smirk playing on his features.

Could he truly be at Heavenly God Realm?

Despite Ye Chen smashing two sixth-layer Holy Ancestor Realm talents outright, the Moon Soul Domain's combat arts surpassed Star Swirl Domain's by a full tier. To Zhan You, it simply meant Star Swirl Domain's Holy Ancestor Realm fighters were pathetically feeble—nothing impressive.

Right then, a white-robed woman entered the hall, flanked by a handful of men and women.

She appeared around thirty, carrying a chilly aura and striking looks, though subtle traces of maturity lingered.

Evidently, by cultivator standards, she was quite advanced in years; she merely employed unique methods to retain her youthfulness.

This was Song Ziqing, Divine Master of Refining God Peak! A secret realm venture years prior had dropped her cultivation to eighth-level Daoyuan realm!

Post-Holy Ancestor Realm stages feature vast gaps between levels!

Even though seventh and eighth levels differ by just one minor step!

Countless cultivators require a solid ten thousand years to bridge it!

Others fail to do so across an entire lifetime!

Additionally, varying spiritual energy and gravitational forces mean Divine Kingdom's Holy Ancestor Realm lags far behind the Outer Realm's at equivalent levels!

Apart from Song Ziqing, the group included two men and two women—all Refining God Peak elders.

Refining God Peak enjoyed solid fame locally, so these folks were no pushovers!

Figures like the wise elder Zhou Hong, Elder Li Changxin, Third Elder Chen Ying, and Fourth Elder Xu Xiaofang—all formidable equals!

Within the bunch, one breathtakingly gorgeous woman trailed along, her eyes vacant like a soulless shell, guided into the hall!

She was none other than Jin Shuhui!

Though Jin Shuhui's condition seemed off, her allure still stunned the assembly!

Even the previously aloof Zhan You had his gaze light up!

Given Zhan You's position, any woman he desired was his for the taking!

That said, his tastes ran exceedingly selective; scarce few could truly captivate him!

Yet Jin Shuhui had now snared his interest!

Within the Star Swirl Domain, whatever woman caught Zhan You's fancy, he would surely claim.

Song Ziqing beamed and announced, "Esteemed geniuses of the Star Swirl Domain, brimming with boundless promise, you've gathered at our Refining God Peak for Shuhui. As Divine Master here, I'm deeply flattered. Let's get to it—the marriage competition starts officially now!"

"The rules are clear to everyone; whoever presents the grandest betrothal gifts wins Shuhui's hand and forges a alliance with Refining God Peak. Any takers among you fine gentlemen?"

These words ignited the hall into a frenzy; excitement lit up every young talent's face, clearly eager to wed the stunning beauty—not forgetting the Heavenly Spirit Spiritual Power as her dowry, of course?
